Heyerdahl to Retail Limited Edition “iDiamond Ear”

December 20, 07by IDEX Online Staff Reporter

Had enough of the diamond-encrusted iPod craze? Not quite…. A Norwegian jewelry company, Heyerdahl Jewelers, has released what it calls the “iDiamond Ear” – as a sequel to its iDiamond Shuffle released earlier this year – retailing for a hefty $6,400.

“Following the overwhelming response to iDiamond from media, customers and the industry,” the company said in a release, “Heyerdahl decided to go ahead with his idea for the world’s most exclusive earphones for commercial sale.”

The iDiamond ear is a pair of Apple earbud headphones dipped in 18 karat white and rose gold and encrusted with a total of 204 F/VVS brilliant cut diamonds (1.65 carats total). The creation will be produced as a limited edition series of 1,000 numbered pairs that will be sold exclusively at the jewelry store beginning in February 2008.
